Personally, I don't see the point. Now that GNOME 3 has classic mode [1] I argue that we already have a desktop that preserves the GNOME 2 approach to things
Have you even tried GNOME3 "classic mode"?
and, as its achieved by using shell extensions to alter GNOME 3, Classic mode already has support for most of the features you list in MATES future
I personally think we should only add additional DE's to the distribution when they bring something substantially different to the table; Admittedly I realise that with this criteria we probably don't need both lxde and xfce, but that's a discussion for another thread :-)
You obviously did not try this. Gnome classic mode is not remotely usable compared to XFCE (and probably MATE, if it is really gnome2-like). -- Stefan Seyfried "If your lighter runs out of fluid or flint and stops making fire, and you can't be bothered to figure out about lighter fluid or flint, that is not Zippo's fault." -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
